This award is accorded for recognising the School’s innovative ways of engaging with the stakeholders and bringing their effective involvement and perspective in building the Entrepreneur and Family Business Program of the School. The School joins the prestigious fraternity of business schools worldwide like Case Western Reserve University, Weatherhead School of Management, Kellogg School of Management, and Arizona State University, W.P.

The Program has carved out a niche space in the education sector by engaging with and being closely associated and becoming an integral part of their businesses and their families, says Prof. Seema Mahajan, Director of the School. During the last two decades, the School with the support and active engagement of stakeholders has strengthened the Program and emerged as the leader in the entrepreneurship and family business education domain. Prof Mahajan further adds that the School focuses on understanding the culture and value system of each family and then mentoring the GenNext to bring in transformation, diversification, and expansions and creation of New Venture.
